Welcome to Kindergarten


I enjoyed meeting so many of you last week! For those of you who were not able to attend, I have linked the slideshow I presented. Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions. Most of this information is also in your child's folder that will come home on the first day of school.


 A couple of IMPORTANT notes:

1. Please remember that for this first week of school our Kindergarteners ONLY have a staggered start. If your last name begins with A-K, your child will attend school on Tuesday and Thursday.  If your last name begins with L-Z, your child will attend school on Wednesday and Friday. If you have a conflict please let me know. 

2. Before school in the morning, when the bell rings, our Kindergarten students will LINE UP in front of the doors by the playground and I will come out and lead them in. There will be a sign for our class or my name will be on the blacktop to show where to line up. The rest of the students will just enter the building when the doors open. This will be our procedure for the first couple of weeks to make sure they get to the correct classroom. I will let you know when we transition to just being able to enter like grades 1-5. 

Thank you so much for helping our youngest learners during this time of new beginnings!

  Kindergarten News Thank you Thank you so much for all of the parents that were able to come to Sarett with us. We learned about different kinds of animals and what they do to get food and stay safe. We also took a walk and listened for birds, noticed plants, and looked for signs of animals. ELA This week students are identifying cause and effect in pictures and in text.  We learned that the words "if" and “so” are signal words to help us find “cause and effect”.  We also practiced making connections to deepen our understanding of the text.   Our spelling words are: yet, tip, vet, van, Val, hug Math   Students are identifying shapes as flat (2D) or solid (3D) as they build and sort shapes.  They are learning the names of common 3 dimensional shapes.  Students were also introduced to the language to compare weight and capacity.

        Kindergarten Announcements Thank you for an amazing teacher appreciation week!  I definitely feel loved! Happy Mother's Day!!!! ELA We performed Reader’s Theater this week and used characters’ words and actions to determine what they like and how they feel. Then we read aloud using “expression” to show understanding of the text and the characters.  Our spelling words are: sip, did, mix, box, fox, wax Math   Students are building with a given number of solid shapes. They are also comparing how some 2D shapes and 3D shapes are alike and different. Additionally, we enjoyed estimating a group of items using clues to narrow down the possibilities.    Writing Our writing skills are growing so much as we write in our journals and tell about how we feel and things we have done.       Science:  Plant Needs: Water and Light This week, we learned that plants and animals are alive! ...

So much to Mrs. Everhart and all of the parents that helped out at the Halloween party!  You did such a great job creating a very fun day for us all!  The kids had such a great time and it was so nice to see so many of you during our parade. ELA This week we enjoyed reading The Three Little Pigs.  We reviewed the concepts of print, analyzed the characters of the pigs and the wolf, and retold the story by stating what happened at the beginning, middle, and end of the story.  We also read many different versions of the story and compared how they were the same and different. We decided if the wolf was really bad or just misunderstood! Math We learned to count and draw a given number of objects.  Writing We finished writing our list and label books this week and ...
